Time and Change

Snookums gave me the day off :) I didn't ask for it, but I
was very thankful anyhow. Our relationship is complicated
right now. It never was in the past, but it has been since
Snookums got home. I love him so much. Time and change
were bound to have an effect on our marriage, but not in a
totally bad way. We just need to communicate more.
Unfortunately for us Snookums finds that very difficult,
but I won't stop working on it.

So, my day off consisted of lunch and shopping with my
friend T'onna. She doesn't have children, isn't working
right now and hates sitting at home. So, she's always up
for whatever. We had a light lunch at Applebee's then went
dress shopping at the mall. That's it, but it was so
enjoyable.

During lunch we commiserated over our husband woes. Both
of us have similar issues with our men (as do the vast
majority of woman). Communication issues being our number
1 complaint. There's nothing better than tearing your
husband apart without him being there to defend himself :)
But by the time we finished lunch we were gushing over the
things we love most about them.

I found the cutest dress at Forever 21. It's a light and
airy cotton strapless sundress in a very summery green,
with the outline of embroidered flowers (in white) across
the front. I loved it so much I changed into it at the
store. When I got home I was surprising at how much
Snookums liked it. I haven't gotten that much reaction out
of him over anything I've worn since the day I picked him
up from the ship. It made me feel good :)

I felt a little bad for Snookums. While I was out with
T'onna a few of his friends were supposed to come over and
grill steaks and drink beer, but something came up and
they bailed on him. They ended up finding some girls to go
out with instead (that's what he gets for being friends
with single guys instead of settle married men like
himself). He cleaned the house, did laundry, hung out with
the kids all day. He never once bugged me about when I was
coming home. I really don't have THAT much to complain
about. So he's a little emotionally unavailable at
times... we can work through that. Ciao.
